A Little Update

A little update on my life…

My last post was in July. It’s fair to say I have neglected my blog and the blogging community, so I thought I’d just say hi and let you in on what’s been going on in my life…

General update: I’ve been struggling lately. I’ve lost all inspiration. I feel like every ounce of creativity has just been drained out of me. I’m sure you’ve all been there, maybe some of you are even there now. No matter what I do I just can’t seem to get motivated. Half-written blogs are piling up in my drafts and I’ve been really doubting myself. However… I don’t know if it’s the new pyjamas or the fact I’ve had my first proper day off in ages, I seem to have found a bit of that spark again, which is why I’m here now. I’m quite excited to try and create again and hopefully find a balance between this and my day job.

Love life update: I’m still gloriously alone. I know you probably won’t believe me, but I’m actually alright with it. Maybe a bit too alright. I’ve been worrying recently that I’ll just end up too comfortable and get stuck in a rut that I can’t get out of. But I’m trying and keep that on the back-burner. I’m actually enjoying my own company and doing whatever I want, whenever I want. I’ve decided that when I move to the city (hopefully very soon) I’ll be more open to meeting someone. For now, I’ll just keep taking every shift I can and binging Kath & Kim for the nth time. 

Job update: So if you know me, you know I LOVE my job. I love the staff, I love that I get Sundays off (mostly) and I love that it always feels like we’re getting ready for Christmas. But I need more hours to make my move to Manchester possible. I’ve been looking for a second job and have an interview lined up next week so I hope that goes well. I don’t want to jinx it and talk to much about it, but I will be sure to let you all know how it goes!

I’m just in that in between stage at the moment. I’ve got a goal in my head and I’m so close to making it happen, I’ve just got a bit more work to do. So, because of that, social media is taking the backseat at the minute, at least until I can find that balance. I need to just focus on making that move possible. I know I’ve only got a small audience on here but I want to say that I love each of you with all of my heart and I aim to be blogging and instagramming more frequently in the future, especially after the move!

Also, I am so BUZZING that it is October. Everything is Halloween themed and I am HERE FOR IT. Halloween is literally my fave ever day and has been since I was a kid, however, I reeeaaally need some help this year. If you have any cool Halloween costume ideas please hit me up! Anything cheap and relatively easy to create would be amazing (because well I’m poor and really bad with a hot glue gun) thanks in advance for any ideas sent my way!

Catch up with you all soon and stay spooky,

My Nose Job(s) Story

I have been heavily criticised in the past for preaching about body positivity following my cosmetic surgery. So I thought it was time to address those comments and elaborate on the matter. Here is my rhinoplasty story! (Complete with a few graphic images). I was ten the first time I broke my nose. I’d just returned from visiting Santa and was frantically running around my grandparent’s house. I was wearing my favourite pair of flared skater jeans because I was convinced I was Scunthorpe's answer to Avril Lavigne. I tripped over the bottom of my jeans and head-butted the corner of a coffee table. It’s safe to say that that was the most painful thing I’d ever experienced, but I didn’t know it would change my face forever. A year later I fell off a chair in class and broke it again because it was already so weak. I had to have a second operation to try and correct the damage that I'd done but it didn't really do much good. At this point I'd given up hope of ever ...

An Ode To My Thin Friends

'Thin' people can often appear like a different species. They have privileges they're unaware of and many of them are unsupportive of the body positive movement. However, whilst I still agree there are more clothing shops, clothing styles and societal acceptance available for thinner people, they still have their place within body positivity. Recently I have learnt that I have been ignorant to what body positive means. I used to think that thinner people weren't allowed to talk about it because they already had perfect bodies. I have written this as an apology to all of my thinner friends who I have put in a box and labelled them thin and perfect, and disallowed them to feel insecure and imperfect, just because they were perfect to me. I have said things in the past such as 'You all look the same to me' which I know now to be hurtful as you are not the same. You are all individuals with different shapes and styles. You are all beautiful. I have told frie...
